Kia ora,

Next week is the RSC's April meeting, and there will be discussion of our ORDAC proposal on dual-language names. This is the first proposal the Oceania region has put forward since the 3R project and it is looking like it will be quite the conversation: see the formal comments from RSC members on the RSC website <http://rda-rsc.org/RSC/ORDAC/2024/1> and in particular ORDAC's written response <http://rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/RSC-ORDAC-2024-1-summary-ORDAC.pdf> to those comments.

The proposal will be discussed at the public session, which for us falls on Wednesday 17 April at 7-9am NZST/5-7am AEST. If you want to attend to hear the discussion (which is not recorded) please email the RSC Secretary at rscsecretary@rdatoolkit.org who will provide further information and the Zoom link.

ngā mihi nui,
